Ingredients

1

Package Maple Leaf Prime Naturally® Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

3

Cloves garlic

2 tbsp

Honey or agave syrup

1/2 cup

Fresh lime juice

1 tbsp

Hot paprika

1 tsp

Chili powder

1 tsp

Salt

1/4 tsp

Pepper

3 tbsp

Chopped cilantro and 2 sprigs for garnish

1/4 cup

Directions

PLACE chicken in a large re-sealable plastic freezer bag. Whisk together all of the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

PREHEAT the BBQ to medium. Lightly coat the grill with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the marinade from the chicken to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes.

GRILL the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, basting with the cooked marinade. Chicken is done when it is evenly char-grilled and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
